Hi all,

I read Jim's treatise on limited-space antennas, which was excellent, and noted 
his confession about frying the bead choke on his 80-m dipole when trying to 
feed the coax and dipole as a T.

If one is trying to double-purpose a dipole -- as in using a 40-m dipole as an 
80-m Tee -- what considerations are there for choking?

You cannot use "choking" for the dual purpose coax
fed dipole.

Instead, you must use a VOLTAGE type balun, which
is commonly available.
